DC2RVA Tier II Final Environmental Impact Statement and Final Section APPENDIX E6 CONSULTING PARTY AND PUBLIC MEETING SUMMARIES 801 E. Main St., Suite 1000 Richmond, VA 23219 Project Update- NPS Fredericksburg CP Meeting June 8, 2017; 10:00am AGENDA & MEETING NOTES Attendees: Emily Stock- DRPT Carey Burch- HDR/Project Team Kerri Barile- Dovetail/Project Team Kirsten Talken-Spaulding- NPS Fredericksburg John Hennessy- NPS Fredericksburg Eric Mink- NPS Fredericksburg Greg Mertz- NPS Fredericksburg 1) Introductions (all) 2) General Project Overview (Emily S. and Carey B.) - Discussion of project goals - Publication of DEIS - What is high-speed rail 3) Cultural Resource Studies to Date (Kerri B.) - Initiation and APE - Technical studies to date (including different methodologies for bypass and main line) - Coordination with the DHR to date - List of historic properties to date 4) Questions and Answers on Resources and Project (all) - Kirsten Talken-Spaulding asked where grade separations are planned, as the team heard that several may be installed. Carey B. showed them one location where a separation is planned, at Lansdowne Road. There will not be a grade separation at their other areas of concern- Benchmark/Mine Road and Guinea Station. Details of the Lansdowne overpass were discussed. 801 E. Main St., Suite 1000 Richmond, VA 23219 - Kirsten asked if any bridges in Fredericksburg are closing. Team discussed replacement of Naomi Road bridge and construction of additional bridge across the Rappahannock. - John Hennessy inquired about the noise and vibration analysis and the potential impacts from increased quantity of train traffic. Areas of concern were Mead’s Pyramid, Slaughter Pen Farm, and several buildings in downtown Fredericksburg including the Purina Tower. Carey B. addressed the concerns and said that noise and vibration studies had been conducted and the team will note the areas of concern and follow up on those, especially Mead’s Pyramid. - Related to this, John H. stated that his concerns that increased frequency may have operational impacts on the park and interpretation (noise, people getting to the park, etc.). This includes both passenger trains and CSX trains. Carey B. said that increased freight traffic is discussed in the DEIS under the No Build alternative, which shows that the increase will occur with or without the current project. - Kirsten and John reiterated their concerns that this project will lead to growth in this area and thus have potential impacts on the park and both Civil War-era and commemorative resources. Emily S. and Carey B. both discussed that there will be additional trains but that the improvements would mean a more fluid system, less backups, quieter trains because of use of sidings, and more. They understood the parks concerns and would continue to monitor the analysis in this area. - Returning to the topic of Mead’s Pyramid, NPS discussed its location on the non-public side of the tracks. The group then discussed potential ways to have the public safely get over the tracks to see the pyramid including a pedestrian bridge or underpass. - Plans near Slaughter Pen were discussed, and Carey B. went over the design in this area, noting that very minimal changes to the existing track may be required in the existing ROW to lessen a curve. - Beyond Fredericksburg, NPS had concerns with potential impacts to the Jackson Shrine in Guinea Station. In viewing the plans, Carey B. highlighted that the third rail/track improvements would be made to the opposite side of the tracks from the historic property. The rail would maintain its same grade and actually will use remnant of an old third track in this area to minimize impacts. Kerri B. also noted that the resource had not been recorded with the DHR and that through the DC2RVA efforts, it is now listed as an eligible property. 801 E. Main St., Suite 1000 Richmond, VA 23219 - One remaining issue that was discussed is the accessibility to this resource if the track modifications required any changes to the roadway. The team said they would follow up on this issue and talk to the roadway engineers to note any changes in this area. - The final topic revolved around schedule. Kirsten T. asked for a general timeframe for the process and construction. Emily S. stated that the project will go to the DEIS at the end of the year with preliminary engineering occurring next year and the FEIS being published at the end of 2018. Construction is at least two years out from that and is completely contingent on funding. The meeting ended at 11:00am 801 E. Main St., Suite 1000 Richmond, VA 23219 Project Update- National Park Service Richmond CP Meeting August 14, 2017; 11:00am AGENDA & MEETING NOTES Attendees: Randy Selleck- DRPT John Morton- HDR/Project Team Steve Walter- Parsons/Project Team Kerri Barile- Dovetail/Project Team Dave Ruth- NPS Richmond Bob Krick- NPS Richmond 1) Introductions (all) 2) General Project Overview (Randy S. and John M.) - Project Goals - Location 3) Cultural Resource Studies to Date (Kerri B.) 4) Draft Environmental Impact Statement (Steve W.) - Results of Analysis - Current Status 5) Next Steps (Randy S. and John M.) - Release of DEIS - Future Cultural Resource Studies - FEIS - Public Meetings 6) General Comments and Questions - Dave R. asked if Buckingham Branch is still being considered as an option as part of the project. John M. said that it was part of the original alternatives analysis but was not brought forth to the DEIS because of numerous issues. 801 E. Main St., Suite 1000 Richmond, VA 23219 - Dave R. then asked if station locations had been selected. John M. and Randy S. both described the selection process for stations and where the DEIS alternatives analysis is suggesting stations be located to date. - Regarding Richmond, Bob K. asked if any notable road changes would be required as part of this work in Richmond. Randy S. and Kerri B. described the differences in the philosophies behind this project and Richmond-to-Raleigh wherein all at-grade crossings were proposed for removal and replaced with overpasses or underpasses. This caused several additional impacts to historic properties. Here, many fewer at-grade crossings are being eliminated thus reducing impacts to historic areas. - Dave R. asked when the public hearings will be. John M. stated that they would likely be the week of October 14th. Kerri B. said that all consulting parties would get notification of the hearing dates as well as the publication of the DEIS. - Dave R. and Bob K. said they had no additional comments and that their questions had been answered. They had no notable concerns with the project as planned at this time. The meeting ended at 11:45am. 801 E.

Randy said that they included both. - Simone then asked if the NPS is a cooperating agency. Randy said they are a participating agency . Kerri also confirmed that multiple branches of the NPS are Section 106 consulting parties. - Simone asked for a clarification on the publication date of the DEIS. Steve said they believe it will go public on September 8, 2017. - Laurel Hammig asked for a general description of the temporary impacts. Randy and Wayne described some of the construction access that would need to be required. They clarified that if any utility needed to be moved, this would be a permanent impact. - Several members asked if the maps could be pulled out and there could be a walk through of the project corridor in Northern Virginia. - Simone asked if temporary impact areas would be revegetated, if appropriate. The team confirmed they would. - Simone asked if CSX had been consulted and, if so, if they have any issues with the plans in Northern Virginia. Randy said that yes, the team has been in repeated contact with CSX and, to date, they have no immediate concerns on the plans in this area. - Laurel brought up the VRE Crystal City station and asked if the team is working with VRE on interconnectivity. Randy, Wayne, and other team members described the continual communication with VRE to assure that all concerns are addressed. Communication includes biweekly meetings, calls, etc. 801 E. Main St., Suite 1000 Richmond, VA 23219 - Laurel asked about the general timing of this project (construction), as well as how this project fits within the Atlantic Gateway study. Randy and Wayne provided data on both topics, including a potential build year of 2025 (pending funding). Long Bridge was also discussed in this answer to described the two projects and how they are working together at the intersection point. DDOT is doing the environmental study for Long Bridge, and Virginia will be funding final design.

    ! PRELIMINARY INFORMATION FORM (PIF) for HISTORIC DISTRICTS Purpose of Evaluation Please use the following space to explain briefly why you are seeking an evaluation of this property. In 1989, as a result of a “Phase 1” cultural resources survey undertaken for VDOT, the preparer of this P.I.F. recommended that a suite of archaeological sites and above-ground structures at the northern end of Shockoe Hill in Richmond, Virginia should be considered a potential historic district eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Mouer 1989). Te SHPO’s review committee for that project concurred with my recommendation. More than thirty years later there is now far more extensive understanding of the nature and extent of this proposed district as well as a considerably more enlightened understanding of signifcant themes which lend it a unique level of importance. Not long after that 1989 report, three of the most visible elements of the proposed district were individually listed in the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register. However, a proper appreciation of all of the historic contexts which make this district signifcant requires recognition of several additional contributing elements. Te district is a signifcant example of the sort of municipal almshouse-public hospital-cemetery complexes that arose in the period of the New Republic following disestablishment of the Church. Te history of the District encompasses the changing social and racial relationships of Richmond through the Antebellum, Civil War, Reconstruction, and Jim Crow/Lost Cause eras of the 19th century. While the previously listed properties (Te Almshouse, Shockoe Hill Cemetery, and Te Hebrew Cemetery) illustrate wonderfully the public appreciation for important and wealthy persons, for civic leaders and historical fgures like John Marshall and Elizabeth Van Lew, and for excellence in public architecture and mortuary design, there is much more to the Shockoe Hill tract.

Somehow she has gotten them to come to her and climb right up on her knee and eat from her hand. They come to her and stand still for her to pet them and talk with them.

  • Disappearing the Enslaved: the Destruction and Recovery of Richmond's Second African Burial Ground
    Disappearing the Enslaved: The Destruction and Recovery of Richmond's Second African Burial Ground Ryan K. Smith Buildings & Landscapes: Journal of the Vernacular Architecture Forum, Volume 27, Number 1, Spring 2020, pp. 17-45 (Article) Published by University of Minnesota Press For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/762534 [ Access provided at 1 Sep 2020 13:42 GMT from Lou & Beth Holtz Library Endowment ] ryan K. smith Disappearing the Enslaved The Destruction and Recovery of Richmond’s Second African Burial Ground abstraCt The hilltop at the intersection of Fifth and Hospital Streets in Richmond, Virginia, served as the city’s primary burial ground for enslaved and free blacks from 1816 through emancipation, making it one of the longest- serving and most populous burial grounds of its kind in the nation. The site’s early history and active use show its profound role in the lives of the city’s African American residents as well as intimate connections with resident whites buried in adjoining cemeteries. Yet today the burial ground stands as the site of an abandoned gas station, its historic core unrecognized like so many other smaller burial grounds for the enslaved elsewhere. By tracing the process of obliteration at Richmond’s “second African Burial Ground,” this article illustrates how those in power— in this case a New South coalition of government officials, city engineers, and private developers— worked to truncate the highly charged memorial landscape related to human remains. The loss of this im- mense burial ground, untouched in the scholarly literature until now, underscores how essential the landscape and even human bodies are for the maintenance of social space and memory.

  • The Great Chief Justice" at Home
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior "The Great Chief Justice" at Home "The Great Chief Justice" at Home (Courtesy of Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities) John Marshall led the Supreme Court of the United States from obscurity and weakness to prominence and power during his 34 years in office, from 1801 to 1835. More than half his time as chief justice was spent at home in Richmond, Virginia. Marshall’s public duties in Washington, D.C., and on circuit in Virginia and North Carolina, consumed an average of less than six months a year. So he was often with family and friends at his two-and-a-half-story brick house, built between 1788 and 1790. Located at the corner of Ninth and Marshall Streets in downtown Richmond, this house stands as a permanent memorial to the Marshall family. No National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior "The Great Chief Justice" at Home other site, not even the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., is so closely connected to "The Great Chief Justice." John Marshall’s public and private roles were intertwined at home. He developed legal opinions, wrote public papers, and greeted famous guests at this place, where he also was a father, husband, and household manager. Today visitors to the John Marshall House can see evidence of both the public and private parts of his life at home. A striking symbol of his public life--a large judicial robe once worn by Marshall as chief justice--is displayed in the visitors’ Orientation Room, as is a small locket that was worn by Marshall’s wife, Mary Willis Ambler, whom he called "my dearest Polly." These two objects represent the public and private domains of a great man’s life, his career and family National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S.

    CHAPTER 3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The additional information provided in this chapter summarizes the ongoing coordination and documentation that the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) have conducted since the publication of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), in support of the selection process for the Preferred Alternative. The Preferred Alternative is presented separately in Chapter 4 of this Final EIS. Each section of this chapter covers a separate topic area that was relevant to the selection of the Preferred Alternative: clarifying historical context for communities within the corridor based on comments received on the Draft EIS and ongoing cultural resource coordination (Section 3.1); documentation of refined operations modeling performed after the publication of the Draft EIS (Section 3.2); and summary of community group, agency, and stakeholder considerations in the decision-making process (Sections 3.3 through 3.5). Note that due to the numerous sources that are provided to the reader in this additional information section, detailed technical references to other data sources are provided as footnotes at the end of this chapter in lieu of standard page footnotes. 3.1 COMMUNITY/CORRIDOR HISTORICAL CONTEXT This section presents expanded discussions of three areas within the Project corridor: Fredericksburg, Ashland, and Richmond. These discussions expand on the historical context of these areas and the relation of the history of these areas to the rail system and the DC2RVA Project. The discussions also demonstrate that full understanding of the historical context of these areas was taken into consideration in the selection of the Preferred Alternative, as detailed in Chapter 4 of this Final EIS.
